Using the BIOS Setup Utility
Basic System Configuration
4-8 NCR S10XL Hot Plug Server User Guide
option, the BIOS utility automatically determines the
type of your IDE fixed disk during POST. You can see
your IDE fixed disk values when you enter the BIOS
Utility.
Cylinder Head Sector
Fixed Disk 0 (xx MB) [Auto] xx xx xx
You can save the values under the option User.
Cylinder Head Sector
Fixed Disk 0 (xx MB) [User] xx xx xx
The next time you boot the system, the BIOS utility
does not have to auto-configure your IDE fixed disk as
it detects the saved IDE fixed disk information during
POST.
We recommend that you copy the IDE fixed
disk values and keep them in a safe place in case you
have to reconfigure the disk in the future.
Follow the same procedure to auto-configure other
installed IDE fixed disks.
However, there are cases when you cannot use the
option Auto, instead you have to select User. This is
when you installed an IDE fixed disk that was
previously formatted but not using the disk native
parameters or structure. The IDE disk type may be in
the fixed disk type list but the number of cylinders,
heads, and sectors are not exactly the same.
Before using the User option, obtain the correct IDE
fixed disk information.
